| Gollum |
Two new images from Peter Jackson's upcoming The Hobbit: An
Unexpected Journey are now online, depicting Andy Serkis as Gollum both
behind-the-scenes in his motion-capture gear and in his finalized, animated
form. Check them both out below, courtesy of E!.
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey follows the journey of
title character Bilbo Baggins, who is swept into an epic quest to reclaim the
lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor, which was long ago conquered by the dragon Smaug.
Approached out of the blue by the wizard Gandalf the Grey, Bilbo finds himself
joining a company of thirteen dwarves led by the legendary warrior, Thorin
Oakensheild. Their journey will take them into the Wild; through treacherous
lands swarming with Goblins and Orcs, deadly Wargs and Giant Spiders,
Shapeshifters and Sorcerers.
Although their goal lies to the East and the wastelands of
the Lonely Mountain first they must escape the goblin tunnels, where Bilbo
meets the creature that will change his life forever... Gollum.
Here, alone with Gollum, on the shores of an underground
lake, the unassuming Bilbo Baggins not only discovers depths of guile and
courage that surprise even him, he also gains possession of Gollum's
"precious" ring that holds unexpected and useful qualities... A simple,
gold ring that is tied to the fate of all Middle-earth in ways Bilbo cannot
begin to know.
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey will be followed up by The
Hobbit: There and Back Again on December 13, 2013. Recent reports suggest that
a third may even follow that, likely targeting a 2014 release.
